NASA has been monitoring a strange anomaly in Earth's magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies ...

Tiny magnetic "flowers" engineered by physicist Anna Palau are redefining how we manipulate magnetic fields. These ...

Pioneering new research could help unlock exciting new potential to create ultrafast, laser-driven storage devices. The study ...

New research led by a York University professor sheds light on the earliest days of Earth's formation and potentially calls ...

In theory, as Earth spins through its magnetic field, any conductive material placed on its surface should experience a force ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it. Enough states have ratified the ERA. Does that mean it's part of the ...

A Mississippi man cut his way through thickets of thorns in search of lost Black graves in an all-but-abandoned town.

Continent-sized structures of mineral protruding from the lower mantle towards Earth's outer core may be contributing to an instability of our planet's magnetic field. The two odd formations – one ...

Like a bar magnet, the Sun also has a magnetic field with north and south poles ... The bursts are significant as they can have an impact on Earth — they can disrupt satellite communication, and even ...

This, in turn, affects convection in the outer core—the dynamo-like process that generates the magnetic field that protects life on Earth from harmful cosmic rays. "Flow in the outer core drives ...
